About the Exhibit and the Artist  

This exhibit features a retrospective collection of quilts made by Eunice Hill from 1959 through 2007, including her current project titled "Pride of Iowa".
Eunice Hill is an internationally recognized quilter who has won numerous state and national awards, including being named Quilter of the Year in 2004 by Minnesota Quilters, Inc.  She is a member of numerous quilt guilds in Minnesota and Arizona, as well as the American Quilt Study Group and Minnesota Quilt Project.  Eunice has over 25 years of quilting experience, 15 years of teaching and speaking, and was recently certified by the American Quilters Society, as a quilt appraiser in May 2006.  In one of eighty quilt appraiser she can provide a quilt owner with a legal document that describes and valuates their quilt, and that can be used for a number of reasons, the most common for insurance and gift value.
Ms. Hill's symbolic quilts are part of the Mayo Clinic's permanent collection on display at the Cancer Center in Rochester Minnesota.  A quilt designer as well, Ms. Hill has supported a number of humanitarian organizations and causes through the contribution of her artful quilts, including the International Ass. of Human Caring, and Sedona Heritage Museum in memory of Sedona pioneer Mary Hancock, in addition to the Mayo Clinic.  Her unique quilt designs and patterns will be available for sale at Arts on Grand throughout the duration of the exhibit.
